Profane on the Sacred

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #657: An assault on democracy and the attack on the US Capitol is examined by Fr. Vazken in a contrast between the sacred and the profane. Chipping away at the sacred. Punctuation: Women and men in written form. The nonsense of non-denominationalization: literal or symbolic, all is defendable. The flow and beauty of the prime numbers and prime factors. Once again: Dates and Calendars. The 2021 MLK Retreat: A virtual event.

2020 Hindsight

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #656: New Year’s Eve expressions that don’t show up in reflections. Where are all the predictors of 2020 prophecy and how apologetics evolves. Living and doing with passion. Misdirected notions of martyrdom and the danger we’re falling into. Odd-ball occurrence? A look at Luke 19: Getting more of the right stuff. Courage to move forward with wishes for the New Year.

Able to Remark

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #653: Remarkable are the things that leave us in awe and remarking on the possibility vs. probability of an event. Connecting the dots from Ohio to Yerevan: Extending the “Small World Theory” to humanitarian aid. Rejecting the ego to see clearly our place in the universe. Dangers of religion: Self-justification with no questions. Exercise: Viewing the Christmas Tree.

Aftermath

Next Step #649: And when the war was over… Confusion, frustration and anger are all part of a story we’ve heard before Artsakh. Some answers in the aftermath, with a vantage point from beyond, one which once inspired us. Here is a story of hope in the aftermath of a modern day Avarayr, and the aftermath of the US elections.
